Entschuldigah: noun. A word often exclaimed by tourists in German-speaking countries after having accidentally run into someone, stepped on someone's toe, or spilling someone's drink, but realising that in their current state of not quite-sobriety they'll never make it to the end of the word and might as well give up now. Due to the popularity of the word amongst English speakers, it has been added to various official dictionaries, such as that of the University of Northumberland.
